networking cable ShiverPeaks BS75711-A0.15W

The ShiverPeaks BS75711-A0.15W is a 0.15 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for short patching and backbone connections in dense rack or desktop environments, this cable supports high-speed data transmission typical for Cat6a standards while providing additional protection against electromagnetic interference through foil and braided shielding. Its compact length makes it suitable for tidy cable management and short-distance links between switches, patch panels, and network devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with older cable categories, enabling stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short runs. The molded RJ-45 connectors ensure secure mating and reliable contacts for frequent insertions in patch panels and network ports.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in server racks
• Short horizontal runs on desktops and workstations
• Connecting network devices in home offices and small offices
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Length: 0.15 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, molded boots
• Compatible speeds: Gigabit Ethernet; suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Conductor type: stranded copper (suitable for patching)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch engages, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the cable for short interconnections between switches, patch panels, or between a switch and a server or workstation. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation to preserve shielding and conductor integrity; maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cables. For fixed permanent runs, consider using solid-conductor cables; this stranded cable is intended primarily for patching.

Recommendations

Use this 0.15 m Cat6a cable where short, high-quality patch connections are needed—such as between adjacent ports in a rack or on a patch panel—to minimize excess cable length and reduce clutter. Keep the cable away from strong EMI sources when possible, and inspect RJ-45 connectors periodically for secure fit and contact cleanliness.
